A medium setting is generally the most suit-
able.
Daily use
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing
fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen
food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change
the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the
temperature regulator toward higher settings to
obtain the maximum coldness.
Important! In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might drop below 0°C.
If this occurs reset the temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment let
the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher
settings.
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting,
for example due to a power failure, if the power has
been off for longer than the value shown in the
technical characteristics chart under "rising time",
the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after
cooling).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used,
can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or
at room temperature, depending on the time avail-
able for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, di-
rectly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will
take longer.
Care and cleaning
Caution! Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit; maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by authorized
technicians.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evapo-
rator of the refrigerator compartment every time
the motor compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a trough into
a special container at the back of the appliance,
over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost wa-
ter drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator com-
partment channel to prevent the water overflowing
and dripping onto the food inside. Use the special
cleaner provided, which you will find already inser-
ted into the drain hole.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on
the freezer shelves and around the top com-
partment.
Important! Defrost the freezer when the frost
layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several lay-
ers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
3. Leave the door open.
12 electrolux
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly and refit the plug.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the
maximum coldness and run the appliance for
two or three hours using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food into the
compartment.
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape
off frost from the evaporator as you could damage
it. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing process other than
those recommended by the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
What to do if…
Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling
sound when the refrigerant is pumped through
the coils or tubing. This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped around and you will hear a whir-
ring sound and a pulsating noise from the com-
pressor. This is correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden
cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous phys-
ical phenomenon. This is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or switches
off, you will hear a faint "click" of the temperature
regulator. This is correct.

ture.
electrolux 13
2. Turn counter-clockwise the spacers through
45° until they lock into place.
Levelling
When placing the appliance ensure that it stands
level. This can be achieved by two adjustable feet
at the bottom in front.
Location
The appliance should be installed well away from
sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct
sunlight etc. Ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back of the cabinet. To ensure best
performance, if the appliance is positioned below
an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance
between the top of the cabinet and the wall unit
must be at least 100 mm . Ideally, however, the
appliance should not be positioned below over-
hanging wall units. Accurate levelling is ensured by
one or more adjustable feet at the base of the cab-
inet.
If the cabinet is placed in a corner and the side with
the hinges facing the wall, the distance between
the wall and the cabinet must be at least 10 mm
to allow the door to open enough so that the
shelves can be removed.
Warning! It must be possible to disconnect
the appliance from the mains power supply;
the plug must therefore be easily accessible after
installation.
